During the presentation we will review the Supreme Court’s ruling about “personal benefit” and a corporate insider’s breach of fiduciary duty, and discuss the current state of insider trading law.
This presentation will also cover topics such as:
- An overview of the law on insider trading pre-Salman, including cases since Newman
- A discussion of the background, facts, and holding in Salman
- The implications for future civil and criminal insider trading cases following Salman (and Dirks)
- What constitutes a “friend” in assessing whether the gifting insider received a personal benefit?
- How do you know if tipped MNPI will be considered a personal benefit to the insider and a breach of his/her fiduciary duty where the tippee is neither friend nor relative?
- The takeaways: What does Salman teach about foreseeing insider trading liability
